LET THE 5000x5000 8MB PNG POSTING COMMENCE

Painting a Cadmus knight (bottle green / yellow) and I'm trying to figure out a color for the eyes.

The 5 minutes I spent reading about color theory suggests purple, but I feel like it would look weird. Any advice?

Death watch termies sound cool, any ideas where I can get some/lots of termy left arms?

Rackham Confrontation models I'm painting.

>tfw the auction you're watching is undergoing a bidding war

What's the point? We're just going to end up sniping at each other.

How the fuck do you use spray paint?

I have been modeling for 5 years now and I never had a problem before but in the past year or so more and more stuff just keeps coming out with tons of raised bumps all over it. I can't exactly afford an airbrush either.

Set your highest amount to like .55 in the last minute. Most people bid to round amounts like the dollar or the fifty cent/pence mark - I win most of my auctions in this way.

Where's the best place to get basing slate in bulk? I have a lot of models I need to base and GW texture paints only go so far in making something look nice.

>>54111203
You are probably better off using woodchips or bark. Would kind of give you the same texture, but you can still drill, sand and cut it.
Slate is hard. It's a pain to use for basing if you want to pin something.

Woodchips and bark are things you shuold be able to find in any flower shop as deco material or whatever.

I don't like the mold line and undrilled barrel on the raven guard, also the base and the tabard are a bit too similar in colour for me, it just blends in with the base.

Quick question:

Can you pose resin figures with boiling water?
What about hard plastic?

>>54114888

You can with resin. You can't with plastic. Easy way to change leg poses with resin provided the bends and twists aren't too extreme.

I ended up just using a head from the Blood Angels kit.

No clue how to paint dragon scales that aren't green or purple so this is difficult. Besides buying metallic paints of different colours, is there a way to get metallic sheen or flakes into normal paint? Was thinking of mixing some bright silver but I have no clue here.

what do you all think of these?

Does anyone find airbrushing resin extremely difficult? it feels like the paint starts pooling instantly and it looks messy and thick even when the plastic parts of the same models look great.

>>54114436
painting is really nice

also how did you get the red so shiny?

>>54115698
I really dig the stick and tube. The flames are nice too.

>>54114073
Regardless of anything else, you have the scale WAY off. The Contemptor body is much, much smaller than that compared to the Dunecrawler legs/gun

Good work mate but I would put additional shadows along pic related lines. Either by a black wash or by a finned down black.

Otherwise the details get "washed down" ...sorry english is not my native tongue

>>54115745
This is why you wash and prime your models, Anon; if you paint onto primer, it doesn't matter what the material underneath is.

>>54116418
You know your color scheme is non codex for chaplains, right?

>>54116507
>he can't afford an airbrush
embarassing, how old are you dude?

>>54116494
I don't know what you did, but when I primed a plastic / fw resin model the primed parts look the same. Maybe you did not wash the resin parts enough (I usually go for atleast 2 soaking & brush sessions with soapy water).

>>54116481

My dudes are a BA primaris successor who were raised from a dead BA successor - as a result, they hold 'relics' of the old chapter in high regard. This includes BA helms and other bits.

Does it work aesthetically though?

>>54116570
I think it's just the rounded edges, resin tends to look a lot less sharp than plastic, and the flat areas aren't as smooth.

>>54116507
where did it say that?

>>54116600

>>54116598
>I think it's just the rounded edges, resin tends to look a lot less sharp than plastic
Where did you buy your models?
Resin should be able to hold much finer detail than plastic.
So if the resin models you got are worse quality than the plastics, chances are the master sculpts were just bad.

>>54116471

Yes, I'm aware. It's a custom chapter.

>>54116604
I'm just responding to baseless sperging with baseless insults.

>>54116615
From FW, it's a leman russ and yea, the mold is probably past its prime or something.
Most of my inf looks nice but none of the resin i have has a sharp edge or surface as smooth as plastic.

>>54114938
Looks great. What's it for?

>>54116931
My Kings of War Necromancer.

Which means the first 1000 points are nearly finished to paint.

So how important really is basing? I've got that earth stuff from the painting starter pack, but I kinda like the black base look.

>>54116982
Extremely. Always base your minis. 99% of other people who actually paint do, and to not will make them look incomplete

So I've got a squad of tac marines kicking about, and I'm getting Dark Imperium soon. I play Blood Angels already and I'm not sure about using the Chadmarines for them.

Toying with the idea of doing them as a lesser known chapter to do paint something new. Any suggestions?

Okay. If ive got this earth stuff that paints on like normal paint but when dry shrinks to make cracks should I do it before or after the mini is glued to the base? If I do before I can see gluing become a nightmare, but if I do after then I run the risk of skreeing up their legs.

Don't even think about buying the large basing kit or the objective markers. They're utter shit, made in China and not the UK. Anyway, I'm using the 32mm bases for random stuff like my wip Fallen here.

>>54117472
One of your easiest courses of action is to make an outline where you intend for the model to stand on the base, do the basing with the model not on it, but putting minimal/no basing where the foot print outlines should be.

That or pin it.

>>54117610

Sorry for being such a mouthbreather. I appreciate all the help.

The gun is red and the shirt is red, How do I add more red without making it too much red?
I feel like making the shoulder pad red would just clash with the red shirt, and a red and white checkered pattern feels like it would look silly considering I don't have any white elsewhere on the model.
What do?

>>54117705
I'd add some sort of symbol to his shoulder pad. I think what they're looking for is more variation than color.

Maybe do some white somewhere?

Okay so I know it's not 40k, but I'm really struggling on what colour scheme I should paint a Male Elf Fighter I'm about to start work on. He's part of Nolzur's series and I've just finished a Gnoll I'm really proud of but now I'm stuck with how he should be coloured.

I've already thrown out a red-gold scheme because my recent sorcerer is that, and purple-blue because it really didn't gel for me, and I'm trying to not use green because I want to stray away from conventional elf colours.

Pic related, it's the model I'm talking about.

>>54117635
Do it on an empty base and glue the mini on after
Way easier than fucking around trying to paint round feet etc, it never works

>>54117749

one thing you gotta learn is dealing with all those mold lines. Especially the leg and backpack one. can't do anything about it now obviously, but it makes models look much better under inspection.

>>54118293
I think he has other things to worry about before mold lines. I mean holy shit...

>>54118293
Just use some snips to carefully take them off?

>Finished
Haha, no.

-Scrape your mold lines.
-Drill your barrels.
-Thin your paints.
-Add highlights.

Once you've done that you can move on to basing.

>>54118315

He's a Dark Apostle for a custom warband, splintered off from Iron Warriors and not in the real-space timeline for very long, hence relatively uncorrupted. The black is actually dark steel (Vallejo Steel, specifically), but the metallic medium doesn't show up great. Unfortunately, I think I made it look a little more Black Legion than anything else.

And the rest of my guys are purple.

Don't eat chicken in between painting sessions, because now I need to find something to paint Frank's Red Hot orange.

Really though, I appreciate the help.
So: get ride of mold lines, use washes, don't paint too heavily, go easy on the glue, be more careful with tiny details, get hobbit drills for the guns, and switch the shoulder pads even though all the pictures have it on the left.
Anything else I can improve?

You don't actually have to worry about the mismatching bits thing, it's not that big of a deal, I've got plenty of marines with varying armor pieces

>>54118458
The shoulder pad is ok, anon is just being autistic.
Particular marks of armour, shoulder pads, helmets and weapons make sense only if you're trying to recreate a particular army in a particular setting and time period. If you're painting it for normal battles in Wh40k it's perfectly ok, since it's in the lore that older and newer marks get mixed together since they're hard to produce and replace

Leave the shoulder pads, someone's having issues telling right from left.

But the rest, yeah. Maybe not worry about washes and highlights really yet, but then again, just adding a slightly diluted wash all over is a very easy way to make shit look better. And deal with the nubs where the sprue was attached while you take care of the mold lines.

Do we think FW is gonna make a legit one this time around?

Dark Imperium Death Guard: prime white, black or gray?

>>54119766
Really depends on what your intended end result is.

Dark = Black.
Bright = white.
"I want to start out looking like bare plastic" = Gray.

>>54119793
>"I want to start out looking like bare plastic"
more like "I want my shit to look good in the end"

>>54119556
I had to google who that is and I even read the rules update, but I assume being armed with 'Malice' is not meant to be as funny as it seems to me.

Anyway, aside from the omnious weapon, which I assume is a bolter of some sort he's just a guy with bolt pistol and a sword.
There are a lot of different options to chose from.

Guess the deciding factor would be Malice, whatever that is, but I don't feel like reading through the books again now.

>>54119910
t. Never tried to paint yellow over any other colour.

>>54119910
Why's that?

>>54119949
Malice used to be a combi-bolter type thing, but since he never got a model, it could be anything now.
Don't know if the Raptorclaw is just the name of the old generic powersword he had, or if it's something new and interesting.

I imagine him wearing a camo cloak so, maybe one of those Ravenguard scouts from HH would be a good place to start kitbashing.

>>54119990
FUCK painting yellow over black or white. White is kinda ok, but having a black base for that shit.

>>54119991
Here's the rundown:
Black is great for beginners. If you fuck up and can't get to all the nooks and crannies, the primer is gonna look like dark shadow.
White is good for brighter paint schemes.
The downside of either is that you have to build up to a lot of colors with either.
Grey primer allows you to get to the color you want with fewer coats and fewer intermediary colors.
TLDR: Grey is good because it isn't white or black.

>>54120057
Well I'm a total beginners, so perhaps Black is the way to go.

>>54118841
>When you fly so low you get blood splatters

>>54120352

I can't fathom why people have problems with white or very light grey primer, I don't see how people find it harder to get to a colour with white than with grey, particularly yellow.

Either use those sprayers as a pair of heavy flamers or convert them into big machine guns (heavy bolters).

OT is measured in hours dude no matter what your setup is. Unless you are really high up I guess.

>>54120485
Is there supposed to be some sort of upside to that? Looks kinda annoying to have to do extra.

If you're salaried then you don't get OT so sometimes it's better to keep hourly pay so you actually get reimbursed for your extra work.

>>54121412
Because they're suppose to be a newly fallen chapter, not a 30k era legion warband. And because GW said in WD303 that Codex: SM is totes legit for newly fallen chapters (using Red Corsairs as an example).

I considered it before I started painting, decided against it, because it's more minor than something like a bolter. I might just wash that face with a few coats of Nuln Oil to give the impression of depth there.

Is it alright to get some aos models and convert them to carry 40k guns while also having 30k dudes and 40k dudes, demon engines, tanks?
Yeah, chaos stuff.

>I kinda like the black base look.

Me too, I thought I was just a freak.

I've always wanted to try to do a "fancy" basic black base. The plan was to go for some kind of reflective marble or linoleum look like pic related (pardon the Taylor Swift, it was the first image that had the effect I wanted when I googled "reflective black floor"), and that it would otherwise be devoid of detail. Like a showroom floor or something.

I think it could look really nice. And it'd have the bonus of never mismatching with whatever terrain you happen to be playing on (my autism goes off when you made snow bases and you're playing on desert terrain, but for some reason "generic" bases like that would be OK with me).

Never got around to it.

>>54119290
You can try deepening the shading, maybe with a dark green glaze. Rest is a-ok (pure whites should pop up more with darker contrast too).

I like the base I got for them, the metal legs and arms and head (I have a thing for symmetry over the y-axis for whatever reason). But it felt a bit drab, but I wasn't sure where to add color to add a bit of character without creating too sharp of a contrast, or looking tacky or out of place. So this is eventually what I've settled on so far (sergeant stripe, and face mask indicating veteran), which brings me to my current conundrum: I was thinking maybe I could spread the color around by coloring facemask according to role (maybe blue like the Blood Angels for devastators, yellow for fast attack, etc.), but once again, without it sticking out and looking tacky. I'll be the first to admit I'm not the best with colors, but I think, for example, yellow for fast attack would stand out against the rest of the scheme, and not in a good way.

How do I get better at putting the arms on my Orks. I like to do sub assemblies where I put the arm with the gun on last so I can paint the chest more easily, but I find it difficult to line up the arms correctly, as you can probably tell. Should I use poster putty, or is there a better way?

You could glue the gun handle to the handle-arm, then the handle-arm to the body. Then, glue the stock-arm to the stock of the gun and the body at the same time.

Well then skip part 1 and glue that arm to the body, then glue the stock-arm to the gun and body simultaneously. Dun.

>>54125933
But then I won't be able to paint the chest underneath as easily. That's why I glued the other arm on first then painted the body and the gun arm separately and glued on the gun arm last.

I'm new to the hobby- just finished priming my first ever set of minis yesterday.

I've just realised GW sell Averland yellow in a tin.

Should I use it like an undercoat or should I still undercoat them black then use the AY lightly on top? This is for space marines by the way.

>>54116982
It puts your miniatures into context.
It can make a huge impact to storytelling, if you want to use it that way.
Think of how an ork army would look that uses a lot of shirtless bodies, tracked vehicles etc on blank bases vs desert bases. Kind of tells you a little story about why the guys are dressed the way they are and why the Trukks don't just use tires.

Or Tyranids on lush jungle bases vs empty dead earth with the occasional biomass puddle here and there.

But ultimately it's your choice.
Completely blank bases kind of look unfinished imo though.

>>54126866
I wouldn't undercoat yellow with black. That will make it harder to get the yellow right. The GW sprays can be used like undercoats just fine so you shouldn't have any problem just undercoating with AY

>>54125578
Just glue the gun arm on, or both arms on, before painting. They're boyz, you've got fifty more to go.

Hey guys, I was watching a HH batrep when I saw that a player modeled his rhinos with the hunter/stalker front armor panel like pic related.

About 95% done Weeping Legion plague marine. Any advice/criticism on improvements on color? I'm not sure if I should do another color for the tentacles and flesh cords or not.

Opinion on this color scheme Ive had floating around for a while and intend to use for my Primaris chapter. Wanted something not too crazy but I fear it may be a bit too bland.

I can do that I reckon! I was trying to match the one on the little packet. Just some metallic paints and/or rust for the gun?

>>54127847
If you are making a BA army then you will get a Baal Predator at some point. That's the front panel used for the tank. I would take that and maybe try and make a mold of it so you can just make green stuff copies.

It was supposed to be more of a tan color, like it's made out of skin.

But now that I look at it I'm not sure it's even skin.

Does this look better?

Any tips to avoid "grainy" looking primer?

And

Dumb rules question: why do some units have ballistics skills when they don't have ranged attacks?

Example: kairos Fateweaver only has a melee weapon, but a 3+ ballistics skill. Why?

>>54130144
operating stationary guns, or in this case psyker powers that shoot.

>>54130144

You never know when something like new equipment or psychic powers come out and use the shooting rules

How does everyone feel about the GW texture paints? I picked up a bottle of the Astrogranite to try with my necrons. It seems solid after a wash and highlights but I'm not sure how many bases I can get done out of one of the 24ml containers.

>>54122973

Looks pretty great anon! My only suggestion would be to do something additional to the weapons. Right now I think it looks too flat with just the bland silver.

What about doing a much darker metal as a base, and then applying the silver highlights in brush strokes away from the blades edges to makes it look much more savage and brutish.

Or just some sort of wash to bring out the recesses and details?

>>54130352
Because I'm a lazy fuck I based my DAngles with Armageddon Dust when I decided to strip and repaint them. Works fine. And you can get a surprising amount of bases out of a pot.

>>54129842
Easiest way would be to mix up enough GS to make the whole thing, then lay it out flat on a smooth surface that you either got really wet or a bit oily so you can remove the GS once you got it into ribbon shape.
Once flattened you shuold probably let it sit for 15-20 minutes cut the edges straight and carefully remove it from wherever you put it.
Then you can drape is as you want.

The trick is finding the sweet spot. If you try to do it too fast the GS is gonna be too soft to hold it's shape and stick to everything, making it hard to manipulate.
If you wait too long it may not want to stick to the banner anymore.

If you are confident in your sculpting abilities you could also just try to sculpt it right there in place. Would give you more control. You need something like a wire or some foil to work over though.

Another thing you may want to consider is just using really thin plastic card and using heat to bend it into shape before applying it to the banner.
You could also use thick metal foil to begin with. If you cut a tincan open and take a strip of metal and try to bend it the right way it could work as well. Just have to use some fine grit sandpaper on it before painting it.

You can also mix these methods. Sculpt the hanging portion on the back with GS, after doing the free hanging ends with plastic card or foil for example.

Hope that helps.

So I just bought my first model from forgeworld, the great unclean one.

Any tips or tricks on painting this bad boy?
I heard they are a different kind of plastic?

Any information helps! I'm excited

>>54130581
You have to lightly scrub the entire model in slightly warm soapy water to clean off a protective layer that does not let paint be applied easily. Some primers do the job a bit differently on FW resin, but I've never head of it being a real problem. When you build it, super glue works, but plastic glue does not. Also pin all the pieces since it's so big and glue only does a decent job

>>54130634
Thank you! Question... Do I still need to scrub the model if im planning on spray priming it?

And what is "pinning it"?

>>54130064
Holy shit, anon, thin your fucking paints.

And drop those old ass models.

>>54127696
Nice. What's it built on?

>>54130656
Check the op for the old ~2000 how to paint miniatures book by GW, the one with the blue cover. It has a really good basic introduction.

Pinning is adding a pin, i.e. a short piece of wire between two parts of a model to minimize mechanical stress on the glue bond.

And washing the models is always a good idea with metal and resin. Sometimes even with plastic if the models have collected dust over a while or you've handled them a lot because you converted something.
